Answer:

P(A) = \frac{1}{9}

P(B) = \frac{1}{3}

P(C) = \frac{1}{729}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Only employees are hired during the first 3 days of the week with equal probability.

2 employees are selected at random.

So:

A. The probability that an employee has been hired on a Monday is:

P(M) = \frac{1}{3}.

If we call P(A) the probability that 2 employees have been hired on a Monday, then:

P(A) =P(M\ and\ M)\\\\P(A)=( \frac{1}{3})(\frac{1}{3})\\\\P(A) = \frac{1}{9}

B. We now look for the probability that two selected employees have been hired on the same day of the week.

The probability that both are hired on a Monday, for example, we know is P(A) = \frac{1}{9}. We also know that the probability of being hired on a Monday is equal to the probability of being hired on a Tuesday or on a Wednesday. But if both were hired on the same day, then it could be a Monday, a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

So

P(B) = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9}\\\\P(B) = \frac{1}{3}.

C. If the probability that two people have been hired on a specific day of the week is 3(\frac{1}{3}) ^ 2, then the probability that 7 people have been hired on the same day is:

P(C) = (\frac{1}{3}) ^ 7 + (\frac{1}{3}) ^ 7 + (\frac{1}{3}) ^ 7\\\\P(C) = \frac{1}{729}

D. The probability is \frac{1}{729}. This number is quite close to zero. Therefore it is an unlikely bastate event.

Evaluate the expression 2(8 − 4)2 − 10 ÷ 2.
Darina [25.2K]
2(8-4)2-10/2, 8 - 4 is 4 so then times that by 2 and you'll get 8 then multiply that by 2 to get 16, after that you need to subtract it by ten which is 6 then divide it by 2 to get 3.

Hope this helped
